About the piece
Created in 1634 by the renowned artist Cui Zizhong, this painting on silk is a superb example of late Ming dynasty figure painting. It depicts an immortal figure navigating a rocky path under ancient pines, accompanied by a symbolic white rabbit. The work is celebrated for its delicate line work and the dignified presence of its subject, offering a window into the scholarly and spiritual ideals of 17th-century China.
